Google Inc, the Internet giant, had disabled a few Gmail accounts in order to deal with spammers.

Users informed the Gmail Help Discussion Forum about their accounts being locked.

On behalf of public grievance, a Google staffer who monitors and posts messages on Gmail Help forum, acknowledged the existence of the problem.

Identifying the problem, Google said, “Our efforts to prevent breaches of our Terms of Use (policy) caused a number of users to be incorrectly identified.” This most meant as spammers or other abusive users.

Several hours later, Google Guide declared that the users whose accounts were disabled by mistake were back to normal without losing any of their account data.

Google said that the messages which were sent to the displaced account during the problem period will not reach the inbox, but bounce back to the sender.
